Kendrick Lamar continues to solidify his legacy. His latest album GNX just became the longest-running No. 1 rap album in Billboard history, spending 22 weeks atop the chart and surpassing Pop Smoke’s Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon.
The success doesn’t stop there. Kendrick’s Grand National Tour with SZA has already grossed over $256 million in just 23 North American dates, making it the highest-grossing co-headlining tour in rap history. With average crowds of 48,000 fans per night, the TDE duo is rewriting the rulebook on what a rap tour can achieve.
SZA paid tribute to Kendrick during a recent tour stop in Maryland, getting emotional onstage: “He put me onto the biggest moment of my life… I’m so thankful to y’all.”
Despite her initial doubts and anxiety about the co-headlining tour, the pair has proven to be a powerful force. Kendrick’s dominance both on the charts and on stage is a clear signal—he’s not letting up anytime soon.
